Yeh, still only 33 as well. Could easily be number one for a half decent champ side.

Yep, needed to go down a level to prove himself and be loved again. If he went to a top Championship side who were going to be up there, Bournemouth for example, he would do really well. He is a confidence goalkeeper, never been the same since Pep considered his distribution not good enough at Man City.

Is he going to be 3rd choice though?

Surely he is better than Gazzaniga?

If Lloris keeps oxf*rd up or gets injured, both of which have happened recently, then he could suddenly find himself as first choice. Would've thought he'd play a lot of the cup games anyway.

Gazziniga is pretty good, would flog Lloris if I were Mourinho and stick Gazziniga in.

If Joe Hart isn't good enough for Burnley then he isn't good enough for Spurs.

I expect so. Gazzaniga is decent, and more importantly, probably the most handsome man in the Premier League. Would be a huge backlash if he was hidden away as 3rd choice.

Considering the coverage Liverpool got this season I'm surprise you're unaware of the hunk that is Allison Becker

Potential spin-off - are we currently blessed with the most handsome selection of goalkeepers in the Premier League era?

Not sure I quite get the criticism of Hart when he spent a season at Burnley and another at Torino. They might not be Preston North End, but he has proven willing to take 'lesser' jobs. He's got 75 England caps and over 500 career club appearances - if Spurs want to pay him to be third choice, and I'm sure he can adding coaching value, particularly to their academy keepers, then good luck to him.

The era when goalkeepers couldn't kick a football. When the blood drained out of their face at the mere thought of a backpass! That was real football. Ederson and Alisson have ruined it with their superior footballing ability.

In 1997 when Steve Ogrizovic played Premier League football keepers could pick up backpasses? Interesting.......

Dear me. To think that to get to Ogrizovic you had to first get past Brian Kilcline. Terrifying.

Tenuously related, I was :shock: to learn that Jamie Redknapp signed for Liverpool in the year after their last league win in 1989-90.

We were talking about Premier League goalkeepers, picking up a back pass has never been allowed in the Premier League. Just accept you are wrong and move on.
